Last night I hosted a New Year's Eve party and I was looking for a recipe for a nice champagne punch I could serve. Well, I found one at Food.com, but after making a sample batch, I decided to change it up a little for both potency and taking out some of the tartness that it had, So, here's the recipe for what I came up with as my own, dubbed "Love Juice," if for any other reason than just for fun:

Ingredients:

1 (12) oz. can each of frozen orange juice, limeade, and lemonade concentrate

1 (2-liter) bottle of ginger ale

2 bottles of champagne, any brand you like

1/2 cup vodka, any brand you like (for potency!)

1/2 liter of club soda (this dilutes the tartness of the original recipe)

Assorted fruits, sliced (I used orange and strawberry slices)

2 small cups of lemon-flavored Italian Ice (instead of ice cubes)

Process:

Add all of the ingredients into any sort of punch bowl or jar in the order listed
